After 50 years of this great music its a notable thing to say that if any band could duplicate the sound they would. Nobody has or can because each was a master at their position. Thanks
Well said
Exactly
Check out Greta Van Fleet ❤them too
@@erinelizabeth9153 not even close to the GOATS my friend.
Living Loving Maid was always played on the radio following Heartbreaker, there was no pause. As the album cut directly flows together. No pause. When you react to Heartbreaker continue into Living loving maid, as that is how it is meant to be. They go together. So react back to back no pause.
There were several times when Zep tracks had no pause between. They did this on Black Mountain Side/Communication breakdown on the first album, too. The reason is interesting. Jimmy Page was focused on creating album-oriented rock - not singles. He wanted to entice the listener to listen to entire album sides. He also wanted DJs at rock radio stations to play multiple songs....to get caught napping when once song transitioned to the next, so they could get more air time....which worked. I also have read that Jimmy deliberately put the wrong track length on the typed info they gave DJs on the pressings of the albums they gave to the radio stations, deliberately telling them a track was 3 minutes long when it was really 5 or 6 minutes+ long. Jimmy understood the music business so well, and he set up Zeppelin to win.
nice call. Keep it flowing
Agreed but not the most flowey of transitions lol
I knew a guy that considered himself a Zeppelin expert. One day we were talking and he mentioned he could never figure out why the radio always played Living Loving Maid after Heartbreaker. I answered “because that’s the way the album is and they are meant to be paired together”. He said no, such and such song is after Heartbreaker. We went round and round for a while when he mentioned his collection was not vinyl, but cassette. It turns out the record company had changed the order of songs on Led Zeppelin II so they would fit the cassette better and avoid too much blank tape at the end of one of the sides. He was totally blown away when he realized this. So, there still may be some people out there that have no idea LLM follows Heartbreaker. By all means the two should be played together when these guys get to doing their reaction to Heartbreaker.
Correct.. many reactions split them into two different tracks.. keep in mind this was the album rock era. The intention was to have both played back to back with no interruptions….
Aren't they magnificent? I'm 63 and I have loved them since I was 10!
Yes Julie ❗ I often use the word " Magnificent" to describe them too. Isn't it a treat to watch these young REACTORS get turned onto bands from this Rock Era🎵 and love them just as we do❓
Same here
65 year old man and i'me with you !!!
One of my favorite Bass lines in all of Rock history! John Paul Jones! 🏆
I don't care how many times I listen to their music they amaze me every time.
Back in the day, at high school parties whenever this song came on, we'd all sit right in front of the speakers in the room and listen to the atmospherics of this great track.....the sound would jump around the room. This is a perfect example of Zep "Light and Shade."
Us too! Remember when the " Hi-fi" had a Television in the center of it🤣
We used to fight each other so we could lay our heads right by the speaker 😂
@@888jimm Great memories, Jim.
Yes! First listen was on a big honkin’ stereo console and when they started panning left and right…😮
Stoned of course!
Jimmy Page’s production and JPJ’s arrangements are top notch
Robert Plants' vocals always amaze me. He comes in and out... from smooth to wailing. His timing...his pauses and then the return , right back to set the tempo of the song composition. He's the Master of Rock vocalists. Another favorite Song of mine by LZ 🔥
Led Zeppelin 2 raise the bar again 😮
When music actually made you feel something substantial....I remember.
Don’t forget this was in the late 60s, with nothing like it, as it still seems to be.
This song and Ramble On are my two favorites on this album.
Tea for One ...🤣
Lemon song is up there too
How this song didn't make their remastered album I'll never know.
One of my favorites from that album. Christmas time 1969, I vividly remember lying on the couch, listening to this by the all blue lights of our beautiful tree.
I felt transported to some sort of Faerie (old spelling) Land. The album had only been out less than 2 months & I was wearing it out. So was everyone else I knew.
I was 16. So long ago but Zeppelin still transports me.
I was fortunate enough to see them in concert 3 times. They were astounding. Wish I had a time machine & could whisk you back with me to experience what I did.
I'm thrilled that you both really like & appreciate them.
Much love from Kentucky.
💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙
Wow. That’s awesome we started listening to it around Christmas time as well. Great story. Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
You can't miss with any Led Zeppelin song. I really like "Ramble On", but as long as it's Zeppelin I am happy.
You guys rule...great album...
They ran Robert Plants voice through a Wurlitzer speaker to get that dreamy sound… before filters
When I was a kid, I was just bottom-line blown away by Zeppelin. It wasn't until many years later that I began to understand why. It was the great variety in their playing and writing skills, an ability to take you away musically and narratively to far away cerebral landscapes, a power and passion that few imbued their music with, and just the best improvisational virtuosos this world has ever seen. From the start, Page enthralled me and was responsible for getting me and millions of others to pick up a guitar. In learning his songs, it's then that you really get a feel for his creative genius. Musically, compositionally, and productively, there are few like him.
This track is a great example of Zeppelin's signature tempo shift, a device that adds depth and texture to several of their classics. They lull you at the start with a tender lyrical guitar or Plant vocal, and then to use La's phrase, they hit you upside the head with a controlled explosion of Page and Bonham. You can hear it in Stairway, Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Ramble On.
Just found your channel a few days ago. Once I saw you doing Zeppelin I instantly subscribed.
Great reactions it's so great that you're doing Zeppelin's full albums and in order. I think you'll be blown away by there progression and diversity. The greatest band of all-time!
Zeppelin 2 was the first album I bought. I put it on my turntable for 1 month straight and didn't listen to anything else. I was blown away never heard anything like them. Then I went in order after that.
Keep up the great reactions!
Me too!
We grew up with these albums. It's like they are a part of us.
Same I just found it saw that you did zep and Floyd and subscribed instantly , love your reactions to the GOAT
Same here lol
Only difference smoking 🚬 our weed
Hey guys. You hit on one of my favorite Zeppelin songs with this one. Great dynamics here. I love the way it starts off so softly with the bass carrying most of the vibe and then the guitar and drums come in just as Robert begins to amp up his vocal. So glad you are discovering and enjoying this great music. Peace.
Yes. You saw how John Paul Jones holds so many of Led Zeppelins performances together with his bass. Just as Bernard Edwards did the same with Chic.
Zepplin 2 is, for me, without a doubt, their greatest album. Ramble On being my favorite song. JPJ’s bass lines on this album are incredible.
Led zeppelin they were truly untouchable in every department greatest band ever to walk planet earth they are the greatest instrumentalists ever
Led zeppelin first 4 albums are loaded song after song
The second album was written and recorded while on tour; whatever city they were in, they'd find a studio somewhere to lay down tracks and would travel with the master tapes. Some of the riffs that came about during improvisation in concert would get added to various songs from this album. It was a challenge to record this way. They said that the studio quality varied greatly from city to city but they had no choice and did the best they could. At one point, Jimmy said he'd lost confidence in the album because he'd heard it so much in its incohesive form while on tour, that he was concerned he was getting sick of it and wouldn't be able to produce a good album. The song itself was about the affair Robert was having, or had already had, or wanted to have (I'm not sure of the timeline) with his sister in law.
Enjoy the way you guys do complete album reviews. Alot of time and work on your part with honest and appreciative commentary. You're keeping the music alive for the younger generation and keeping us, the older generation who grew up with these sounds, stay young.
So happy to see your appreciation and keeping these tunes relevant.
Thank you Airplay Beats!
Wish the outro was longer....
Such an awesome, funky groove + guitar strumming.
How great is it that you are doing full albums track by track to all the greats from the past? This second album by LZ is my favorite. As you said a bit less bluesy, not that I’m against the blues, this sound was them finding their lane, at least IMHO. Can’t wait to hear The Lemon Song. 🔥✌️
The Lemon Song coming soon!!
Number One Album World Wide of 1969!
The bass line is sick!!
Great reaction. As usual! Zeppelin is one of those bands where even though most of their music was very different song to song, you still knew it was Zeppelin from the first couple of measures. A band with a distinct sound, but pretty diverse musically.
I get sad sometimes thinking how we took this music for granted, we thought it would go on forever. Sadly, it had gone down so much to not even be the same animal.
I have been listening to this song for at least 30 years and each and every time I hear it , it evokes the same feeling . There is a beautiful wistful , “ far and away “ vibe . It’s magical .
I love how you guys appreciate music. Enjoy your reactions very much. Much respect! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you 🙌
you guys crack me up!!I saw zeppelin at the garden NY in 73 and when I watch you`s we all go back thanx alot
the last section of this song is some of the most powerful rock music ever played- remember fiirst hearing it back when it came out, could nor quite believe what i was hearing- the guitar riffing, the chukka chukka part and robert plant singing all over it- amazing stuff- the beatles will always be the most important group of all time, their originality, their great song,s, 2 great singers, their cultural importance , the list goes on, but zeppelin as a peforming band, were the greatest- those early recorded live shows they did in the uk were just amazing
Standard way I dance to Zeppelin is my long hair lol just hanging down in front of my face and I hop into a skip straight into a twirl and twirl and twirl 🌺💜
So good to hear John Paul Jones get some appreciation! His bass playing is so good. Not to mention he played mandolin, piano, organ, etc whenever needed.
another great reaction....Love your passion and your ear for excellence and invention.
This is a great album. Grew up with these album. They are ingrained into my heart and soul. Just greatness!
You guys hit all the beats…short succinct intro same way every time, reaction with minimal pauses only to add perspective to actual thoughts, and then a post reaction breakdown with TWO OF YOU, signing off exactly the same way every time. No wonder you guys are the top reactors on CZcams.
This is music from my early years. Loving you guys taking me back. Your reaction at 5:25 is priceless. I was waiting for it!
You asked about the woman singing "Stairway to Heaven". You might consider reviewing "Dreamboat Annie" studio album. Also CrosbyStillsNashand Young. "Wooden Ships" and "4 Dead in Ohio" about the massacre at Kent St U.
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
The first album was recorded in 30 hours, in between their first two tours. The second album was recorded on the road in studios when they could fit sessions in, taking tapes with them from city to city.
One of the best, most creative and original lead guitarist on the planet. (Eff Eddie and his fast scales)
The most versatile bass guitarist, great on bass, keyboards, and other stringed instruments.
Best rock drummer. Seriously, if you had a rock band who would you rather have than John B?
Hands down, the best vocalist frontman. Not clownish like Mick. Better vocals than any other. Plus, he could play the hell out of the harmonica.
But the way they meshed together is what made them remarkable.
This is my favorite from them.....I just hits me.
It's no wonder why Led Zeppelin couldn't go on after the loss of John Bonham. Considered the greatest drummer of all time for damn good reason ! Magnificence behind a drum kit for sure.
Another way they were ahead of their time and changed the industry was their manager. He fought for the artists and changed how they got paid, how much and that they did. Prior to him many times bands would get screwed for live performances
You know, I have learned and appreciated so much about Zep since I started watching your show. I was in darkness, but now I see the light. This tune is insane. Then I heard The Lemon Song. You guys ROCK. Thanks and take care.
The next song is going to blow you away. This album is so good. JPJ is going to impress you.
Lemon Song should be out this weekend!
@@AirplayBeats I’m looking forward to it!
Robert Plant is a force of magic!
And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child come with me
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be
Nicely done….. Ramble On…. Or Lemon Song….. can’t decide what I’m looking forward to more…. Enjoy
The bass!!!
This is my all time fav-o-right Led Zeppelin tracks
My favorite one of their songs and I like them all
I’m so glad you guys are doing the entire catalog in order. I’m 38 and Zeppelin is my favorite band with no close second. You’re in for a treat. Keep up the awesome content.
"JPJ the silent killer" right on!
Robert plant was spitting bars and rapping even before it was a thing 🤙
My favorite 🔥❤️
If I had to pick my fave Zep tune this is it
How can it be sooo smoooth? and Sweet? and timeless? GOATS is the answer.....
Great review guys...these guys were so tight...best rock band ever! I got to see them live in 77.
Solo Robert Plant(Zeppelin vocalist) ~ Sea Of Love, Big Log, In The Mood, Heaven Knows, Little By Little, Tall Cool One, Ship Of Fools...!
Led Zeppelin 1. Listening to the B side on WXRT, a Chicago underground station at the time...
Love it!! This is absolutely my favorite Zep song. When I was in High School I fancied myself in love with one Robert Plant!!
My, My, My, My, My, My YEAH
I haven't heard this wonderful song in years and appreciate your respect and love for their immense talent especially coming from musicians.
great channel i enjoy experiencing the music alongside you guys very much keep it up (South London uk)
It is so nice to see people enjoying great musicians!
Love that ending and Plant's freestyle like flow. One of the more underappreciated Zeppelin songs in their catalog I'd say.
Called Led Zeppelin cause a drunk Keith Moon (The Who) told Jimmy his new band would go down like a Lead Balloon. lol
That song is triple dope! 🥹
Thank you for sharing and giving me added appreciation for great music.
I love watching you guys react to led Zep, ❤
Enjoying this journey with you guys. Thanks
I am loving your reactions guys its great to see people who love music hearing new old tunes. Keep it going.
Yall need to try led zeppelin. Hey Hey what can I do. Or traveling riverside blues
Led Zeppelin's like a box of chocolate you never know what you're going to get
One of my favorite reactions...!
Wait for the next one-The Lemon Song! It’s Jonesy’s finest moment…
sonicley, zeppelin was perfect on every album. Jimmy Page was a genious!
Cudos to you two.
That bass be killing me. 🥴
Zepp fucking rocks 🤘
JPJ is practically the grandfather of funk with those basslines. my god
The saddest thing I can think of in rock and roll is Bohnams death before Led Zeppelin truly peaked....can you believe how good they are, but they never peeked, Im sad about that every day
With LZ you don't know what to expect not just from song to song but even WITHIN the song....
There is an early live performance of this on youtube that sounds just like the record, except they do a little improvising without messing with the vibe.
Magnificent 🧡
Zeppelin 2 and houses of the holy are my favorite zeppelin records... Close 3rd physical graffiti
Lotta people sleep on that album but it's fantastic.
They were still called the new yard birds when they wrote the first album
Who here was waiting for the 05:10 minute mark when Zep decided to show off the “new” (for their time) stereo sound effect.
JPJ so nice on that bassline 🥵
I dont think any other hard rock band could get away with such artistic collage of styles without losing their hard edge. Zeppelin maintained their rock god status over the years even with their "pretty" songs.
You guys do great reactions! LZ is on a plane by themselves. I mean you could literally have a top 50 for this one band!
Page was on TV shows in England when he was 12 playing guitar
You gentlemen have found such a great formula for your channel and I love that you had the sense to explore complete albums, you guys rock.
Thanks for your assistance!!
They were the real deal , no doubt. I grew up with all of their music on the radio constantly, but I didn't totally get into it, nor did I completely appreciate it, until well into my adulthood.
A Zepp journey, for sure
The stereo on that guitar
Blew me away then
It still blows me away NOW
incredible
